Optimizing production begins with improved genetics and protecting plants from different kinds of diseases and pests. This is sometimes accomplished by breeding varieties that are resistant to diseases, thereby protecting the crop through its growth cycle. However, often the level of resistance is not sufficient under high disease and pest pressure. In these scenario seed treatment becomes very important in order to protect the seed against pests and diseases. Apart from protection against various pests and diseases, seed treatment helps in enhanced germination, healthier plants and improved yields.
